This is probably the most important tip! Some parents give up too soon. They get frustrated because their babies don't sign back to them right away. Remember the more consistent you are the faster they will pick the signs up. In my experience, every child is able to learn basic signs provided his/her parents put in the small amount of effort needed. Youn must be patient and keep it up. This is why I suggest sticking with a few signs until your baby 'gets it'. ~ Laura Berg - Owner, My Smart Hands, 'educating young minds'
